This is a great opportunity for the RIO DE JENEIRO city government to solve this age old problem.

We in the Malayan Federation has similar problems of the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT wanting to segregate the Malayan population in cities to be purely Archipelago, Riau natives. But as we can see in the Hulu Selangor, Sabak Bernam, Kuala Selangor mishap is truly a NATIONAL DISASTER. (except for the Federal Government funded high income civil service population in Putrajaya)

This is where the Brazilian government can study the effect of culture of various tribes, sub tribes.

In Malaya, The Archipelago people has learn to live amongst the Chinese, India people without degrading into a horrible slum.

WHY not try to rehouse the 6% to 7% of the city population that is the FAVELA in GOOD QUALITY council housing distributed troughout Rio De Jeneiro! Jobs will be easier to find in MIDDLE CLASS, higher income skill workers, commercial areas!

It will get rid of an eyesore in Brazil!

Any comment from Brazilians?
Visit Malayan Federation and check out their experiences!

In Malayan Federation we have rules for real estate developers!

This include a MIXED NEIGHBOURHOOD requirement where menial class, working class, middle class housing is a requirement. There is also a requirement to help in the urbanization of the Archipelago people, where up to 30% of the new urban areas must be sold to rural people - at least a certain period has to pass, before it can be released to the general urban population!

This same system was not implemented in Hulu Selangor and created terrible slum condition!
